Hi everybody. This is your Tampa Bay Reorder Lance Mohr and in this video
I made a go ever about the truth about new construction homes in Tampa what's
really going on and I think I'm going to be talking about some stuff a lot of you
may not want to hear it personally won't like but that's what I'm going to talk
about in the short video so as most of you know we're in a seller's market in
other words there's a lot of buyers out there and not a lot of inventory and a
lot of people are starting to wane have been leaning toward new homes in the
Tampa area then the reason is because a lot of sellers just aren't realistic on
their price if you look at a lot of pre-existing homes they're either over
priced or they're not nice condition or their assumption something functionally
wrong with them and it's just drawing people to a new construction home but
the problem we have here and it's not just in Tampa it's not just in Florida
it's in a lot of places across the country is that everything is going up
so labor Costner's is getting higher prices that people want is getting
higher material cost a whole bunch of different factors and there's not enough
qualified people around the country to build homes or having to do a lot of
training then of course people get the training they want to go somewhere else
to make more money so this is coming up everywhere now this is something if you
watch my new home videos I talk about all the time in inspections inspections
inspections but maybe a couple examples so the other day I was talking to a
representative with multi homes he showed me this upgrade on the home and
he said see that upgrade over there and I said yes he said last week that was
$3,800 this week it's $5,200 he said that's not
something we're doing he said the company that we go to that does that
their cost to us went from went up $1,400 I was talking to another builder
and he was telling me where I always tried to get my buyers to get
scheduling when they if they're coming in from out of town to go into the
Design Center and take a look at everything before their appointment and
a lot of builders will actually let you go in before you even write a contract
so I had buyers go into this one company before they even wrote a contract and I
had them take the pricing catalog to get a good idea the problem was the Builder
just cut that out they said you know what we're not when people in our design
center of they're on the fence there's no more of that you have to be under
contract with the home once you're under contract with a home then you could go
to the Design Center and just look around before your Design Center
appointments so things are starting to change and a lot of is this because a
lot of the builders especially the good builders and the good areas are just
busier than they know what to do it they have so many buyers out there and
there's so many consumers I'm going into these model homes and I'm walking in and
there may be one or two cars in the parking lot all of a sudden I'm walking
out an hour later the entire parking lot is full with people parking on the
streets so it's just something to keep in mind when you're looking in a new
home just take everything with a grain of salt because things are changing
they're always changing it's not that the builders trying to be mean it's just
that they're very very busy right now and they're really taken their pick and
working with buyers that are ready to buy right now opposed to sitting on the
fence in another six months or a year in this happens when the markets did busy
so hopefully you've had a chance to watch some of my new construction videos
and how to save money and understanding the process I'll put a couple up above
